The various pasts – the 60s, the 80s, the 2000s – comment on each other in a way that sheds light on Bressane’s themes and obsessions, which become increasingly apparent and finally, a whole idea of cinema reveals itself to the curious and patient viewer.

The footage of him accompanying Monk Beopjeong for three years will be revealed on a KBS Sunday special.
